Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 652 Desperate Things (4000)

"Go."

Wu Liang nodded in response.

Wu Liang naturally knew why Boss Cao was in such a hurry to find him. It was nothing more than something about black gunpowder, which was very important not only to Boss Cao, but also to anyone who wanted to do big things.

However, Cao Ting obviously didn't know what happened in Cao Ying last night, let alone what happened to Wu Liang and Huan Renjun.

Boss Cao should know soon.

After all, such a big thing happened, and the officers guarding the camp saw Boss Cao and General Cao Ren and others coming back, so they had to go to report immediately. Maybe when Wu Liang saw Boss Cao, he would have already complained about yesterday's incident. What happened tonight is well known.

"By the way, talented and virtuous brother, why did I see a place in this camp that was in such a mess when I came here just now, do you know what happened?"

While walking, Cao Ting asked casually.

"Last night, when you and Duke Ming entered the city to encircle Lu Bu's troops, someone attacked the camp. To be precise, it was not a single person who attacked the camp, but a human head."

Wu Liang said concisely.

"Human head?"

Cao Ting immediately put away the indifference on his face, and said with a look of surprise on his face, "What's going on? Has anyone been injured in the camp? Are you and the Huan army all right?"

As the former chief general of the Huan army, it is impossible to say that Cao Tian has no affection for the Huan army. He also hopes that the people of the Huan army will get along better and better, and their status in Boss Cao's heart will become higher and higher. .

"Dian Wei was injured and is currently in a coma. I don't know when he will wake up..."

Wu Liang didn't hide from him, and said with a sigh.

"How could Yi Dianwei get injured so easily?"

Cao Ting suddenly said anxiously, "What is going on, please tell me in detail!"

"Let's talk about it in detail when we see Duke Ming. I think Duke Ming will ask about this later. You will know when you listen to it. Besides, all the people in the camp saw the whole story with their own eyes last night. It's not a secret at all."

Wu Liang is really not in the mood to talk about this at the moment, but he just prevaricates to Cao Ting with a tired face.

"alright."

Cao Ting also patted Wu Liang on the shoulder very understandingly, and said to him, "When you see my uncle later, I will turn back and look at Dian Wei, it seems that Dian Wei is so loyal Such a powerful fighter is rare in the world, if something happened to him, it would not only be your loss, but I would also feel sorry."

"Brother Anmin has a heart."

Wu Liang showed a forced smile and nodded.

……

In the camp of the Chinese army.

As soon as Wu Liang walked in, Boss Cao immediately turned away a kind of "idlers and others", leaving only Xi Zhicai and Cao Ang to talk to Wu Liang together.

"Youcai, I've heard the details of what happened last night, but I just don't know how much the army lost?"

Boss Cao asked with concern after taking the initiative to come forward and grab Wu Liang's arm, and took him to the sitting chair next to the main seat to sit down.

"Almost all the accompanying materials of the Tuan army were destroyed, and one person was seriously injured, and his life or death is still uncertain."

Wu Liang had already thought of the corresponding rhetoric, sighed and said dejectedly.

"All destroyed?"

Boss Cao was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "Then what about those thunderous copper pots you used against Zhang Liao's men last night? Could it be..."

Boss Cao is also out of his wits, and if he cares about it, he will be chaotic.

He had just heard someone explain what happened last night, so how could he not know that the last explosion was those black powder copper pots, but now he still asked such a slightly stupid question.

"Those copper pots will turn into thunder when they encounter fire. Last night, the head deliberately threw the torch into the carriage where the copper pots were placed. He had the idea of ​​destroying all the copper pots. I also blamed my negligence for being caught. That person took advantage of the loophole... Sigh!"

Wu Liang lamented heartbroken.

Boss Cao didn't know Dian Wei at the moment, so naturally he didn't care about Dian Wei's life or death.

What's more, Boss Cao has led his troops to fight for several years. Whether it is the enemy soldiers who died in his hands or the troops who died under his command, it has long been impossible to calculate an exact number. How could he focus on a "Huanren Army soldier" who was seriously injured?

"Not one left?"

Boss Cao still asked unwillingly.

"It's all gone."

Wu Liang shook his head helplessly.

"..."

Boss Cao suddenly fell silent, and after a while, he raised his head and looked into Wu Liang's eyes and asked, "You are talented, you like to study those strange books and ancient methods on weekdays, and those exquisite ancient objects have a chance in your hands." Seeing the sky again, I just don’t know if you have studied these thunderous copper pots thoroughly?”

Without any foreshadowing by Wu Liang, Boss Cao automatically classified the black gunpowder copper pot into the ranks of "antiques".

After all, there is no concept of "time travel" at this time, let alone the concept of "travel to the future". Boss Cao does not have such a concept in his heart, so he will definitely not think about it. He will only think that those black gunpowder copper pots are just Wu Liang The harvest of this trip to visit the monuments.

"Reporting to Duke Ming, now I only know that this thing is called 'Tiantianlei', and it was made using a very mysterious ancient secret method, which can open mountains and split rocks with great power."

Wu Liang cupped his hands and said, "Originally, I planned to bring this thing back to Chenliu and study it carefully, but last night I suddenly encountered a rebellion from Lu Bu's troops, so I had to use it to relieve the urgent need. Lei' can still be used for my research, but he was plotted against by that weird head, and there was not even one left after taking the lead... It's all because of the murderous head, does Minggong know the origin of that head?"

The name "Zhentianlei" had never appeared before the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It was not until the end of the Tang Dynasty that black gunpowder gradually appeared in the war, and it was at that time that the name "Zhentianlei" came into being, so Boss Cao still has no way to verify it.

"I just heard people say that Emperor Xian said that the head is the treasure passed down from generation to generation of the Han Dynasty——Wang Mang's head. He also said that Wang Mang's head should have fallen into Lu Bu's hands now."

Boss Cao was still extremely unwilling, but he could only speak through gritted teeth.

"exactly!"

Wu Liang also said angrily, "I suspect that 'Wang Mang' is the 'Luotou Clan' that appeared in ancient records, so 'Wang Mangtou' fell into Lu Bu's hands to do such weird things."

"What is...'Luotoushi'?"

Boss Cao couldn't help showing doubts on his face, he had obviously never heard of such a statement.

This is not surprising. The "Luotou family" known to Wu Liang also first appeared in the book "Sou Shen Ji" written in the Jin Dynasty. Soochow" has not yet appeared. If there has never been a similar record in the previous ancient books, then Boss Cao has no reason to know.

"I've never seen it before. I only know that the so-called 'Luotoushi' is an extremely rare monster. Although this monster looks like an ordinary person on weekdays, its head will detach from its body every ten minutes in the middle of the night. It flies away automatically and returns to the body until it is almost dawn, so it can always do some incredible things.”

Wu Liang explained as clearly as possible, "Don't hide it from Mr. Ming, a few days ago Lu Bu sent a spy to Chenliu to investigate me. Fortunately, the Zhu family in Chenliu has some friendship with me. After finding out about this, he tied up the spy. I sent it to Yongqiu, and later I interrogated him. At that time, I heard from the spies that he had accidentally seen Lu Bu secretly using blood to support a strange human head. Qi... At that time, I felt that this matter was a bit absurd. In addition, I was about to travel again with the Huan army, and Lu Bu was the adopted son just recognized by Duke Ming. Continue to investigate, now that I think about it, the spy did not lie to me, the strange head Lu Bu offered at that time should be Wang Mangtou."

"In addition, last night I carefully checked the corpse of the Habayashi guard possessed by 'Wang Mangtou'."

"The corpse has been dead for a long time, that is to say, he has been hidden in the Habayashi guards in this way a long time ago, so the process of using 'Zhen Tian Lei' and the location where 'Zhen Tian Lei' is stored He saw everything clearly."

"Last night, he waited for an opportunity. He first attacked me and tried to sneak attack. Fortunately, I and the soldiers under my command reacted in time to survive, so he turned to the carriage where the 'Shaking Thunder' was placed. Take the 'Zhen Tianlei' away, so he decided to take the next best thing and choose to destroy all the 'Zhen Tianlei'."

"It can be seen from this that I ruined Lu Bu's plan last night. Lu Bu has already remembered me in his heart. I am afraid he will still wait for an opportunity to attack me and the Huan army... But until now, I have not treated that 'Wang Mangtou'. Still know little about it, and don’t know how to prevent it.”

Having said that, Wu Liang finally stopped, with a little worry on his face.

He was secretly diverting Boss Cao's attention from "Shaking Thunder" to Lu Bu, because next, Wu Liang's primary target was Lu Bu.

"It's strange to say that last night, my father and I almost dug Anyi City three feet into the ground, but we never saw Lu Bu, and I don't know where he is hiding?"

Cao Ting finally couldn't help but interjected.

"Minggong has now ordered a three-day curfew in Anyi City. From this point of view, Minggong should issue a stricter order to close the city, and the period of closure should be extended appropriately. If Lu Bu is still hiding in the city, he will be taught that he cannot fly with his wings."

Xi Zhicai also understood the importance of Wu Liang to Cao Jun, and was already worried about Wu Liang's safety, so he stepped forward to remonstrate with Boss Cao.

"What Zhicai said is very true, Zixiu, hurry up and deliver the order that Anyi City will be temporarily closed for seven days, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave!"

Boss Cao ordered decisively.

"promise!"

Cao Ang responded and walked out of the camp quickly.

At this time, Wu Liang clasped his hands and said, "Duke Ming, I still have a place that has a lot to do with Lu Bu. If Duke Ming permits, I hope to investigate secretly, and maybe I can gain something."

"Oh? You said."

Boss Cao said in awe.

"Wen County, Hanoi County."

Wu Liang said solemnly, "Last night when I returned to the camp with Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, I had some exchanges with them. I learned that when Lu Bu followed Bingzhou to assassinate Ding Yuan, he was just a weak master. Ever since Ding Yuan led the army to settle in Wen County, Hanoi, Lu Bu seemed to have changed himself, and transformed himself into a brave flying general who crowned the world, and because of this, Ding Yuan valued him and recognized him as his adopted son."

"You mean...Wen County may hide Lu Bu's most important secret?"

Boss Cao already understood what Wu Liang meant.

"Not only that, but when Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo and took control of the government together with Wang Yun, he specifically asked Emperor Xian to make him Marquis of Wen County. This is also a question worth pondering."

Wu Liang then added.

"Well, this matter is indeed worth investigating..."

Boss Cao frowned, nodded slightly, and then said, "But since Lu Bu wants to harm you, and you don't know how to guard against Wang Mang, I think it's inappropriate to teach you to investigate secretly at this time." !"

"But there is a specialization in art. No one is more suitable than me to investigate these strange things. The most important thing is that Lu Bu injured a lieutenant of our army. This person usually protects me and rescues me several times. My life was also injured for me last night, but now I am unconscious, life and death are uncertain, if I can't personally take the bloodstains, it will be difficult to get over the hurdle in my heart in this life."

Wu Liang said emotionally, this is not acting, but the expression of true feelings from the heart.

"But you only have about twenty people accompanying you this time. If I teach you to go alone, if there is nothing wrong with it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get over the hurdle in my heart."

Boss Cao also said, "What's more, Hanoi County is now in the hands of Zhang Yang. This person and Lu Bu are from Ding Yuan's old department. The relationship between the two must be very close, and he often flirts with Yuan Shao. In addition, the current situation is complicated. I don't think so. I would like to make enemies with him, and if this trip makes him aware, it will add a lot of obstacles, so don't act on your will."

"Minggong, in life, there are always a few things that teach people not to care about gains and losses, but to be desperate!"

Wu Liang suddenly met Boss Cao's eyes, his eyes shone with rare firmness and perseverance, completely different from his usual oily tone.

"..."

At this moment, Boss Cao could clearly feel Wu Liang's determination.

Then he fell silent.

Wu Liang looked at him, and he also looked at Wu Liang.

a long time.

"Zihe, come in!"

Boss Cao suddenly shouted.

Two seconds later, Cao Chun, the future commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry that Wu Liang had met before, walked in quickly. When he saw Boss Cao, he bowed his hands and said, "Brother Mengde!"

"From now on, you and the tiger and leopard cavalry who were secretly trained will be dispatched by General Wu. What he says is what I say. This is a military order!"

Boss Cao said in an unquestionable tone.

"?"

Cao Chun couldn't help looking up at Boss Cao in amazement, then at Wu Liang, and finally under Boss Cao's unwavering gaze, he lowered his head again and said, "No!"
